elated177:A messenger of the covenant sent to establish the New Covenant! Malachi 3:1 What is the Word YHVH?Meaning "He causes to become" the Creator of all thing, He created the first creature {Proverbs 8:22-31} and empowered him to create all other things! Colossians 1:15-16 So they're separate beings not the same as TRINITARIANS do claim. |

elated177:I don't think any Christian will disagree with this except if what you are saying is that observance of the ten commandment is what gives us salvation. Being born again will cause you to observe the law without being ruled by the law. The relationship of Christians to God is just like the fact that because I am a true child of my parents causes me to live right without living under the FEAR of obeying their RULES: this is the relationship of a person born again through Christ to the Almighty FATHER! Those who are Born Again inherently please their Father without the threat of non observance of the Law. Only servants are kept in check by the threat of the law! |

TenQ:I need you to always mention the Ten Commandments whenever you are referring to them and not just use the word "law". There are many laws in the Torah. What else can give Salvation if not the observance of the Ten Commandments? How can you observe the Ten Commandments without being ruled by the Commandments? Is it possible for anyone to be greater than the Ten Commandments? The way you people lift things from the writings of our brother, apostle Paul, and jumble them all up is not only deceptive but ludicrous. TenQ:I don't think even you understood what you were saying there. Your parents are your parents, mere mortals like yourself. You can even play golf and tennis with them. Your Maker and Creator is God Almighty and you must worship him with FEAR AND TREMBLING. Will you also play golf and tennis with your Creator? Could that be the image of the Creator the merchants of his Word have sold to you? Psalm 2: 11 Serve YHVH with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. 12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Hebrews 12: 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship YHVH acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.” TenQ:Again, I don't think even you understood what you were saying there. This is the kind of abstract message that has left its hearers empty. "Threat of the law" indeed. |

TenQ:Malachi 1: 6 “A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?” says YHVH Almighty. “It is you priests who show contempt for my name. “But you ask, ‘How have we shown contempt for your name?’ John 14: 15 “If you love me, keep my commands.

elated177:The commands of Christ are His teachings all hinged on Mar 12:30-31: "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Which of the ten commandments represent this? Mar 16:15-16: "And he said to them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned." Which of the ten commandments represent this? Mat 6:12: "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Which of the ten commandments represent this? Mat 5:44: "But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you;" Which of the ten commandments represent this? I wish you can just humble yourself to learn from Christ! Mat 12:5-7: "Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? But I say to you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless." |

TenQ: TenQ: TenQ: TenQ: TenQ:YHVH forbid! I will not join you in pitting the Ten Commandments against any part of what Yahushua the Messiah said while he was on earth. The Messiah himself never did such. That would be tantamount to fighting against himself. Yahushua the Messiah cannot fight himself. He is the embodiment of the Ten Commandments of YHVH Almighty. Satan and his forces know what the teaching and obedience to the Ten Commandments do to their kingdom. |

elated177:The book (Bible) has all the details but as you can see i'm only summarizing it in just one or two sentences. OT~How we got here, how trouble began, how God dealt with a chosen nation and how God promised through the chosen nation to redeem mankind. NT~How the means of mankind's redemption came, how he lived like all other men before he got baptized, his ministry, teachings, disciples, how he faced fierce opposition among his own race, accusation, arrest, charged, arraigned, judged, sentenced, his execution, resurrection and ascension back to heaven. You can add what else you remember. You are being evasive.God's word means what God said but if you're referring to John 1:1 that is another thing entirely. In heaven God passes information to all his angelic sons through the firstborn just as God intended to pass information to all mankind through Adam His firstborn human Son {Luke 3:38} so even though all the angels knew God, it's their elder brother who is the firstborn that always speak to them as God's mouthpiece {1Thessalonians 4:16} everything including all the angels are like his properties inherited from his father. Colossians 1:15-16 So they all know the person whose voice they always heard as God's chiefspokeperson back in heaven {Mark 1:24} that's why he is rightly called "the word of God" Most misinformed people often misconstrue that and spewing nonsense about Jesus but from his own expression it's clear that he differs from the person who sent him {Matthew 24:36; Luke 22:42} both of them have their individual mindset the son only love doing whatever pleases his father {John 8:28} that's all! ![]() |

elated177:Habakkuk 2:4 '“Look at the proud one, his soul is not right within him, But the righteous will live by his faith [in the true God].' 2 Corinthians 5:21 'He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]' Romans 3:22 'This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or Gentile] who believe [and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son]. There is no distinction,' Righteousness by faith, simply means, a righteousness of God in Christ (i.e. the privilege of having a right standing with God by proxy Christ) that we accept and receive from God by and through faith (i.e. the currency of the Kingdom) 'Righteousness by faith' is optimised from having 100% faith in Jesus Christ and believing everything that Jesus Christ means, represents and/or stands for. Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories. |

elated177:If you let the image of a messenger, get in the way of the message delivered & presented, then, that's your problem, not his/hers What's your devotion, bordering on obsession, to 'Muttleylaff' about? Truth, must be dispensed with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected. Judge not, by the form of the messenger, but the form of the message. Focus and look at the content of the message itself, not the messenger. Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories. |

elated177:"Yes, according to the Law nearly all things are cleansed with blood, and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place" The wages of sin is death {Romans 6:23} so if the sinner will not pay with his/her life then another life must suffice that's why blood is required. Just as through one (perfect) man all humans because sinners the same is applicable to redemption that through the blood one (perfect) man all will be cleansed! Romans 5:11-12 Do you accept that Yahushua the Messiah is embodiment of the Ten Commandments?He is the perfect description of God's attributes {John 14:9} so we don't need laws to become God's children, all we need is a role model CHRIST!

MaxInDHouse:Hebrews 9:22 - the entire chapter, in fact - marks the clear distinction between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. Maxindhouse, I need a straight answer: do you or do you not accept that Yahushua the Messiah, as the Word of YHVH Almighty, is the embodiment of the Ten Commandments of YHVH Almighty? |

elated177:Why are you laying undue emphasis on this ten commandments? Guy, God has about 600 laws for the nation of Israel but because Moses asked Him questions regarding these laws which no nation has anything familiar that's why God wrote the first 10 on stone tablets. All the laws are equally commandments and important since they are laws from the same person: GOD! ![]() |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc0fl6Sw8Sg Why do these nasty Christian folks like to lie lie like this? Unless they are following their Father of Lies. Why do you think Jewish people do not respect your nonsense, always falsely quoting Jewish scriptures to further your nefarious agenda. As the old highlife song goes, 'If wayo man die, na wayo man go bury am." Psalms 40:6 6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required. Hebrews10 “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; 6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. |

Where did 'you have opened your ear to me' change to 'a body you prepared for me'. By force by force the christians lie merchants want to make the passage about Jesus' death. To the point of literally changing and twisting the words of the Jewish scriptures. Then they make up a whole doctrine of forgiveness or righteousness by faith. Only by lying and twisting the Jewish scriptures. PastorAIO: |

PastorAIO:Do you know that there are many things in the laws that no nation has ever been given such laws? Please if you want to argue blindly try to dey look face o. Where is it written in the constitution of any nation that they shouldn't worship more than one God? Where is it written that people must not make images? Where is it written that people must not bow to images? Where is it written that a certain day must be kept holy and nobody should do any laborious job? The one and only nation given spelt out rules from just one deity is Israel. All other nations have contradicting and conflicting doctrines from countless deities so they can't agree on one line of thought as each priest will face his own god and rulers from that god! ![]() |
